Just to let everyone know, we've decided to have the Empty Bowls event in the Egan Dining Hall this year, on Sunday, March 28th, 4-6pm due to some issues with transporting soup. Parkhurst is providing paper products and butter for us free of charge. Part of the agreement for using Egan Hall is that we must use (some of) their soup. We plan on having possibly 3 soups from Parkhurst and they are allowing us to bring in a few other soups from different restaurants. Also we will have some simple drinks (iced tea, water, lemonade) that will be provided by Parkhurst. Unfortunately these (soup and drinks) will not be donated, but will be at a low cost. The space will be large enough for us to have room for all the bowls, auction, and a soup buffet along with live music entertainment. Unfortunately the (round) table linens will not be provided, they cost $4 per table, so we might be stuck paying for those unless someone can hook us up other wise (if you have any connections or can get them, please let us know!). We are still counting on donations for bread and drinks to help offset costs. But because we're using Egan Hall, we don't have to pay to rent it, which is about $200, which will also offset costs.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

December 13, 2009 Empty Bowl Meeting Minutes 8:00p.m.
Basically this is just a few main points brought up at the meeting between Art Ed and Social Work:
-Event will be held on March 28th.
-Space was reserved at the Masonic temple.
-The event will probably be about 2 1/2 hours long, but the definite time hasn’t been determined yet.
-We’re aiming to sell 250 tickets because that’s what the temple can hold.
-Social work is collecting the soup and bread.
-Social work is trying to contact the head of HRIM to see if we could get volunteers to heat up soup the morning of the event and to help serve.
-T-shirts will be sold at the event for people involved and customers to buy. They should be fairly cheap because they’re basically going at cost.
-Entertainment as of right now is going to be figured out by social work club.
Glazing Party January 8th and 9th! We’re going to set up a production line and just get as many bowls done as possible!!
Art Ed club is in charge of:
~ making and glazing the bowls
~ choosing a logo from Ad Pro to print on flyers, tickets, and t-shirts
~ possibly organizing an Art Auction to go on during the meal
~ making posters/decorations to hang around the dining room representing hunger
~ selling tickets before the event

September 23, 2009 In Attendance:
Betsy Morningstar- Jeremy Weber - Kristina Dahlgren
-Kevin Salem - Diana Bockhahn - Kaylyn Stack-
Samantha Williams - Jessica Stachelrodt
Topics of Discussion: ZOO MURAL
Dimensions: 2 walls each 10x13 ft. and 1 wall 10x63 ft.
-one of the smaller walls must contain a welcome message and the other a thank you message
-discussed possibility of somehow dividing the larger wall into smaller sections to be worked on by individual groups, if we were to do this there will be a supervising committee formed to oversee the entire mural and make sure that all sections flow coherently and that the finished mural has an obvious sense of unity
-Kevin proposed the idea of having a logo designed specifically for this project...to serve as a seal somewhere on the mural (Mercyhurst Art Education Erie Zoo Mural Project 2009-2010)
-Kaylyn offered the idea of hiding words within the design (i.e.: inspire, create), this would be a nice way to add originality to the mural as well as to engage the audience by having them search for the hidden words
-Kevin informed us that we would be able to work throughout the winter months, as the walls are all indoor
-Betsy suggested we take a field trip to the zoo to photograph animals and exhibits for inspiration as well as to meet with zoo officials for input and suggestions, as it will be a permanent installment, she also brought print out examples of other zoo murals for inspiration
-The Art Ed Club and Art Ed Department will head mural project but the invitation is open to anyone who wishes to participate NEXT MEETING IS WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 30th AT 8:15 IN THE PRINTMAKING STUDIO
-Thank You Cards from Irving Elementary
Our club has been raising funds to donate to a local art program that needed supplies. This past spring Irving was chosen to receive our award and the students wrote Thank You notes to the Art Education Club Members. These would look great in your teaching portfolios!
-PAEA Conference
The Pennsylvania Art Education Association Conference is being held in Brandywine, PA from Oct. 23rd - 25th. We currently have 13 students attending this trip. Those who have a seat on the bus will be leaving early Friday morning. As for room groupings, it’s about $30 a night if you have 4 people splitting a room. 1 Person from each room must make the reservation.
-NAEA Conference
The National Art Education Conference is being held in Baltimore, MD from April 14th – 18th. This could be a possible trip if people are interested.

-2009 Regional Arts and Technology Mini Conference

--COMMITTIES--
Email an officer if you would like to be part of a committee and didn’t get a chance to sign up. We have 5 big events coming up so we’ve created committees to oversee, organize and facilitate these programs.
--Empty Bowls--
We have a large committee for this and soon we will be having bowl throwing/glazing parties on Friday and Saturday afternoons. As of today we have about 200 bowls bisque fired of our 400 goal. We’re also trying to get AdPro to help us create a new logo for the event. If anyone has any ideas for a design let us know.
--Art Education Show--
A family friend of Jeremy’s has offered to let us use her gift shop to host an art show. This way all students will have a chance to show their work to the community and get great experience doing so. Full profit from any sale goes to the artist but we would like to thank our host somehow. We could sell tickets before hand and also accept donations. We plan to have this event early in winter term if enough people are interested.
--Mural at Erie Zoo--
The Erie Zoo has asked our club to paint a mural along the walls of their classroom. All supplies will be paid for and this event will be open to the entire Art Department. We need to brainstorm designs that include the Zoo logo. Anyone interested in helping create or document this project should attend the meeting on Monday September 21st at 8:15 in the Zurn 2nd floor lobby. Bring sketches of your ideas if you can.
--Fundraising Possibilities--
1.) Bake Sale in the Student Union possibly Halloween themed if we can reserve tables that soon. We could sell chocolate covered pretzels, baked goods and caramel apples. Manny the Mannequin could also help us raise funds.
2.) Selling chocolate bars with miniature artworks (Artist Trading Card size) attached around the Erie area and on campus.
3.) Creating and selling an Art Calendar. Club members could submit artwork and we could pick the top 12 pieces to be photographed. We could sell these calendars to fellow students and the community.
4.) Fuse-Bead 2x2 artworks like what Ms. Hopper put in the Faculty Exhibit. We could make little replicas of famous artworks or our own original pieces. We could make them into key chains or just sell them as-is.
--Art Ed Workshops--
The club hopes to put on workshops on how to matt artworks and other art skills. To raise funds we would charge people to attend, they would learn a skill, and leave with a project. We would open this event to Mercyhurst students, students in the Erie area, and possibly current Art teachers to get Act 48 credits. This would be a great experience for us to teach others.
